TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ,1 A

Be it known that I, J OHN P. PRICE, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in the I Welding of Iron or Steel; and I do hereby declare the following to-be a. full, clear, and exact description I of the same. I I l I The nature of my invention consists in welding iron or steel by the aid of eryclite, which is first ground or pulverized; its impurities, ofihbstofits impurities, removed; after which it is ready for use, in the same manner 1 es borax and other materials or compositions heye been heretofore used for the same I purpose. Ihave found I that the cryolite possesses the property of aiding in producing more efi'ective and perfect welds than other materials, there being less burning oi' the iron or steel, and the joints being generally more perfect; l

I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent I The welding of iron or steel by the aid of cryolite, as set forth.
